Ben Carson is catching fire after give a cringeworthy speech Monday to the Housing and Urban Development employees referring to slaves as “immigrants.”
“That’s what America is about, a land of dreams and opportunity,” Carson said. “There were other immigrants who came here in the bottom of slave ships, worked even longer, even harder for less. But they too had a dream that one day their sons, daughters, grandsons, granddaughters, great-grandsons, great-granddaughters, might pursue prosperity and happiness in this land.”
Twitter exploded, of course, but one tweet that perfectly captured the emotion of the masses was sent by none other than Samuel L. Jackson, or should we say Jules Winnfield from Pulp Fiction. The renowned actor isn’t afraid to throw shots on the social media app and had this to say to Carson.
OK!! Ben Carson….I can't! Immigrants ? In the bottom of SLAVE SHIPS??!! MUTHAFUKKA PLEASE!!!#dickheadedtom

From the capitalized letters to the heavy dosage of exclamation marks, the tweet can’t help us think that Jackson channeled his inner Jules in the “say what again scene” from Quentin Tarantino’s classic film.
